What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[click83]

After reading the advice on here from members with similar staggered wheel setups e.g. @Bigsidavies , decided to replace the front 275/40/20's with 245/45/20. The difference it makes to the steering is very noticable, more precise and the look is the same. No more rubbing on full lock either.

Fitted 240v hook up, been putting it off and thought I wouldn’t bother and just use solar. Anyhow done now and in. Hot day to be working in a black van.

Added some rear quarter decals from Beatnik both sides to try break up all the grey somewhat....I did enlist some help from someone experienced in applying.

Bought some expensive plastic…. Results in a few weeks

Cleaned out the van and started packing for our trip to Alnwick Castle ( Mighty Dub Fest weekend)

Replaced both my front inner wheel arches on 6.1 after wearing them away driving with no front bumper down the motorway

New ones have access panel for fog lights which old ones (2020) didn’t have so that’s a nice bonus .

Cleaned the van yesterday after our France trip and had a moment of genius.
In the past I’ve cleaned the Altro floor on my hands and knees with a small scrubbing brush because it shreds cloths.
Anyway, got the Karcher floor steamer out and it took about 20 seconds with the micro fibre pad for the floor to be cleaner than ever-stood up, no back breaking scrubbing.
Top tip.

Restyled my alloy. Fuming. Not sure if it’s repairable?

I've did a couple of things on my van recently:
1. Changed the brake discs + pads, front and rear
2. Swapped the old suspension (right shock started leaking after almost 500.000kms ), shocks + springs and everything with a "new" one (the new one had under 1000 km)
3. Changed the Poly-V belt and tensioner

They can repair! £67.50 which doesn’t sound too bad to me

 

[Toffermora]

Fitted some sillyness!

I thought it was funny, the kids will enjoy it as well!

 

[T6ChrisO]

Snap!! (Must trip that glue)

 

[tinctina]

Finally had some decent weather of the weekend and managed to fit my side window from Camperglass. No drama during installation apart from snapping several shop brand jigsaw blades. Sliding window so hope it doesn’t leak!
